Air temperature affects generator output.
Output drops 1% for each 10° temperature
rise above 60° F. Very low temperatures may
make the engine hard to start. See engine
owner’s manual for more information.
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Master portable generators are rugged and
compact. These generators use brushless al-
ternators for dependable, trouble-free service.
Honda gasoline engines provide long life un-
der heavy use. Honda engines have overhead
valves (OHV). This provides high perfor-
mance with lower fuel consumption. These
engines are governed to maintain engine speed
of 3600 RPM under load. 3600 RPM engine
speed provides 120/240V, 60 Hz power.
Additional Features
• Circuit breaker protection
• Large fuel tank
• Oil alert system
• 15-Amp ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) receptacle
• Electric starter
UNPACKING
1. Remove generator from carton.
2. Remove any protective packaging ap-
plied to generator for shipment.
3. Check for loose or missing parts. Check
for shipping damage. If any parts are
missing or damaged, please contact our
Technical Service Department at 1-800-
858-8501 (English Only).

This generator needs cooling air to run prop-
erly. Never block free-flowing, cooling air
to generator. Overheating will occur with-
out cooling air. This will damage the gen-
erator. Keep generator at least three feet
away from any object.
DANGER: Use only in well-
vented areas. Make sure area has
plenty of free-moving, fresh, out-
side air. Never run generator in
an enclosed or confined area.
Never run generator inside occu-
pied building. Engine exhaust
contains poisonous carbon mon-
oxide gas. Overexposure will
cause loss of consciousness and
will lead to death.
Do not use generator in extremely dusty or
dirty conditions. This will severely affect its
life. Keep generator clean. Do not allow
dust, dirt, rain, or snow to collect on it.
Protect generator from outdoor elements.
WARNING: Do not use gen-
erator outdoors in rain or snow.
Do not use generator near stand-
ing water or snow. Do not use if
generator is wet or damp. Oper-
ating generator in these condi-
tions increases the risk of elec-
trocution. Severe injury or death
can occur.
